Well, on the negative side, it's ugly as all hell if you don't like OD. So, since I'm a fan of OD, there's not really a negative in my opinon. Well, I guess it could stand to have thicker padding on the straps and belt, but you can buy that, so it's not really a concern.

On the positive, it's big enough to contain a small child, and if you were wearing the thing, by the time you managed to damage the pack, well... you'd be dead.

All in all, it's a real good pack for using in the real world.

P.S. don't EVER wear your ALICE pack over a USGI pistol belt with suspenders, because the kidney pad (the part that takes all the weight) will sit on top of the metal clips on the suspenders, and drive them into your back.
I discovered this yesterday, and have a pair of nasty welts.
